In over 60 years of experience, Alga has developed a large number of innovative products and has achieved excellence in all main branches of structural devices production and post-tensioning technology systems.
The considerable investments in Research and Development, in collaboration with several Italian and European universities, the test campaigns conducted in the testing laboratory Algalab, the continuous commitment of highly skilled technicians have made possible the registration of numerous patents and the implementation of numerous successful products.
Alga makes numerous direct assistance on site, structural and seismic retrofitting, consolidations, application of carbon fibers, lifting of bridges and structures, replacement of bearings, expansion joints and anti-seismic devices, restoration of concrete slabs and concrete.
Alga also designs and supplies sophisticated monitoring systems to detect and moving loads on bridges and structures.
The testing laboratory Algalab, in cooperation with the Polytechnic di Milano University, is able to perform static and dynamic tests and on postensioning systems.
